Used 2016 Honda Accord Touring V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Gorgeous and classy !
This is a Honda, great quality, tremendous engine, low maintenance, beautiful sleek lines, durable, * top notch electronics, sturdy, comfy, gas saving, and lots of air bags. Safety features are amazing, like brakes, airbags, stabilizing features for bad weather, too. Heated seats, dual controls for air/heat. Huge trunk. Roomy inside, and a smooth suspension system. We love the deep "steel" gray color, leather seats, sunroof, etc. We get wonderful mileage. Now, 6 months later - we love it even more. Very happy repeat Honda customers.

One of the best cars for the money.
The Honda Accord Sedan is a near perfect bang for your buck. Great looks and Honda quality. I've gotten several compliments on the car and surprised statements of "That's a Honda". That being said I feel there are some minor tweaks that would make this the perfect car. I'd like to see the same power of my former Acura TL but not at the expense of the improved mpg. The entertainment interface is a bit glitchy, particularly the Apple CarPlay. Sometimes it will not connect and it seems that the technologies "compete" with one another. I'm hoping there will be an upgrade to the entertainment software that will resolve these minor but annoying issues. The front seats and not the most comfortable for long trips.

All the Acura you could want for 12K less!
this has to be one of the absolute best values in new cars today! with all the luxury of a higher end car and Honda reliability what more could you ask for. HONDA SENSING is truly a must have, lane keep assist, brake assist and mitigation, radar cruise control, parking sensors, cameras and more its an great option for all to have. the Touring v6 sedan is a great buy at 35,000 sticker, its also sexy looking, fast and quiet. love this car!

Perky new Honda Accord V6 Touring
I love my new Honda Accord V6 Touring. It is quite large in the interior & exterior. So far the gas mileage has been ok; Honda stated it will take about 5,000 miles before I will see an improvement in the MPG. I love that it takes regular gasoline. I miss that there is not a good driver arm rest, but that is a small thing. All of the cameras are very helpful. I did not think I would like the Sensing package but they have been very helpful in backing-up and parallel parking. The steering ratio is excellent. The Honda Accord V6 Touring is a classy sedan, it is not like a “regular Accord”, therefore I hope that Honda creates a new upscale car-name to match the wonderful reality of this car.

Great For Leasing, Expensive to own
+Pros: 1. Nice redesign, but a little too much chrome on the outside. Would have been nice for some details in black instead of chrome, plus, I personally don't like chrome -- it's cheapy/tacky looking bling and it blinds people driving behind you. 2. It's a V6 and fast when pushed (but also a future con.) 3. Great highway gas mileage. (Also a con) 4. The front seats can be moved further up than before, great to prevent kids that kick and ruin the leather seats 5. Dual screen, but they still haven't updated the camera screen, still looks like a webcam from the 90's. 6. Finally, a rear spoiler on the V6 model, but you pay for it with it being only on the Touring Trim level. 7. Very nice rims! 8. Beige leather is very nice, so is the Orchid White paint. 9. Remote Start. Still have to figure it out. When I activate it and then get into the car and it says hold the break and push start, then car turns off. What's the point?? Ugh. +Cons: 1. Timing Belt replacement (you're looking at a $1200 replacement including water pump and tensioner) and hope the mechanic you get installs it properly without causing more harm than good trying to squeeze into the crammed in space to replace it. They still refuse to use a timing chain on the V6 line. 2. Cost to replace engine mounts: $500. 3. Cost to replace the 7" touchscreen when it goes, and it will die eventually and I highly doubt it will make it 10 years. 4. Stupid idea to put the music controls on the touch screen and no physical buttons to operate it. I still can't stop playing music without having to navigate the touchscreen to turn off the music. At least have a on/off music button or touch button like the Pilot has* 5. Wow, still no rear HVAC control? 6. Still no rear USB ports? 7. Piano Black Gloss? Really? It's a swirl scratch magnet plus distraction in the sun from the glare. Who thought this was a good idea? 8. Keyless ignition, while nice, why didn't you do what you did like the Pilot with an illuminated Button? Anyways, it's a con, because when that goes, it's about $1200 to replace. 9. Subwoofer tends to rattle the rear window, though the audio system does sound better then the 2013 V6 I had. 10. HD Radio sounds aweful, I really wish they also included an analog reciever.** 11. Gas Mileage / VCM Engine ... I just hope that after the class action lawsuit of previous generations due to the VCM design, this engine doesn't eat oil and foul spark plugs. Summary: All-in-all, it's a great car to lease, but not buy. Too many electronics that can go bad down the road that would raise the Total Cost of Ownership thousands of dollars more. If they provided a 8 year 100K warranty on the electronics, I say go for it, but at 3Y/36K standard, it's a future money pit, even with "Honda Care" at another $1200.00 You're better off with the LX with the least amount of electronics that can go bad. My final note: Great For Leasing, Expensive to own, esp. if you plan to drive it into the ground, and before you drive this thing into the ground, I bet you it will do that first to your wallet in repairs. UPDATES: 1. * I found the Audio On/Off button, it exists, it's to the left of the CD Player. Unlike the Honda Pilot EX-L which has it on the Touch Screen. 2. **There is a way to change the HD radio preference (personally, HD Radio sounds like someone talking through a tin can, aweful.) If you dig into the menu screen, you'll see the option to default to Analog Radio as the first preference. Addendum to Pros: 1. Great visibility outside of the Windows. 2. Breaking is responsive. Other: 1. When driving on the I280 in NJ, I noticed on the curves at around 65MPH, the road handling feels slippery. Maybe it's the new tires? Not sure, but it's not road gripping, more like fishtail/slipping. 2. My Goodness, on the Touring Trim, All Season Mats and Mud Flaps should be standard!!
